Isaiah 5:29

The Lord Will Use Another Nation To Punish His People

²⁸
Their arrows are sharp and all their bows are strung and bent;
Their horses’ hoofs seem like flint and their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.
²⁹ 
Their roaring is like a lioness, they roar like young lions;
They growl and seize their prey
And carry it off and there is no one to save it.
³⁰
And in that day they will roar against them (Judah) like the roaring of the sea.
And if one looks to the land, in fact, there is darkness and distress;
Even the light will be darkened by its clouds.

My People

Roar Like a Lion

No

Isaiah 42:22

And a spoil, with no one to say, “Give them back!”

Or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?”

The remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the nations,
In the midst of many peoples
Like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion [suddenly appearing] among the flocks of sheep
Which, if he passes through,
Tramples down and tears into pieces [the nations in judgment],
And there is no one to rescue.

For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.

And like a lion—who dares rouse him?

To take the spoil and to seize the plunder,

For so the Lord says to me,

“As the lion or the young lion growls over his prey,
And though a large group of shepherds is called out against him
He will not be terrified at their voice nor cringe at their noise,
So the Lord of hosts will come down to wage war on Mount Zion and on its hill.”

And a destroyer of nations is on his way.

To desolate your land;
Your cities will be in ruins
Without an inhabitant.

See, one will come like a lion from the thicket of the Jordan against the enduring habitation [of Edom] and its watered pastures; for in an instant I will make him (Edom) run from his land.

Who is the [earthly] shepherd who can stand [defiantly] before Me?”

They leave nothing for the morning.
